Publisher's Synopsis
The Hobble
Marino gives us resilience, healing, rescue, and protection in The Hobble. Maintaining a resilient spirit through the tragedy of several losses, Electa loses all hope when a minor accident ends both a promising career in the Performing Arts and a promise of Romance and marriage. Desperate for answers and questioning her faith, she searches for the truth, which forces her to confront her deepest fears and darkest past.
Much has changed. Electra, bereft of the faith she grew up with, found bitterness growing within her heart. She begins to believe God has left her by the wayside of life. However, this could not be further from the truth.
Running from a messy past, Electra never expects to find more than temporary friendships and short-lived distractions. Electra has dealt with terrible personal tragedies that fueled her faithlessness and sarcasm, which left her suffering from transcendent loneliness. Drowning in an ocean of grief, she often thinks about her childhood days when things were simple and innocent.
God, always desiring the best for Electa, had the perfect place already prepared where she could realize and possess far more than she could think or ask. Suddenly she found herself playing out her drama of faith within the walls and halls of a beautifully decorated contemporary place called "The Inn," where everything began to change for her. Sometimes she felt she had left reality and was living a historical fantasy.
Though the reality was a mystery and suspenseful, it would unfold at "The Inn." The Innkeeper initially stirred her curiosity. Electra would discover a supernatural phenomenon she could not deny or explain.
Are you ready to join Electra in her suspenseful pursuit of the truth as she journeys to the unknown to uncover her future?
We need reminders of God's power now more than ever. Electra encountered God's presence, even though she was not looking for it. The Hobble reminds us that God's light always shines through the darkness.
The HOBBLE is a rich, sweeping novel that stunningly brings to life the loving kindness and patience of our heavenly Father and faithful friends who love us despite our bitterness, impatience, and sarcasm.
The HOBBLE is a beautiful tale of heart-wrenching loss, the power of faith, and the wounds that only the love of God can heal. The Hobble is filled with unexpected twists and turns that keep you guessing. It is an inspiring tale of grace, faith, resilience, emotional, Faith-based Mystery, Page-turning Suspense, and Good vs. Evil.
